The application window is expected to close on: 11/05/2026Meet the Team

The Common Hardware Group (CHG) creates innovative hardware platforms central to the AI era, powering Cisco’s core Switching, Routing, and Wireless products for organizations globally. Our innovations in silicon, optics, and hardware platforms - like Silicon One - are shaping the technology industry. We're a global team of creative experts, bringing our unique backgrounds and bold ideas to push boundaries and help each other grow. Because full product development - from design to qualification to production - is within our team, we’re able to think differently, experiment more, and work quickly. Join us to power the future of the digital world.

Your Impact

As a Distinguished Engineer, you will serve as a technical visionary and advisor to Cisco’s engineering business and senior management. You will lead and influence key industry boards, councils, and standards bodies, define and drive the adoption of next-generation technologies, and guide the development of new products and processes. Your expertise will have a broad impact across Cisco’s product portfolio, shaping strategy, research, open-source efforts, and intellectual property development. You will:

Drive the long-term technical vision and roadmap for next-generation semiconductor nodes and emerging Angstrom technologies.
Strategic Planning: Lead Technology pathfinding and process-design interactions to evaluate futuristic capabilities and quantify technical risks.
Risk Management: Drive strategic technology selection and architectural governance under uncertainty to ensure long-tern product viability.
Bridge the gap between device physics, architecture, and physical implementation to maximize system efficiency.
DTCO Leadership: Pioneer Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) methodologies to acheive breakthrough gains in Performance, Power, Area, and Cost (PPAC).
Advanced Packaging: Architect next Generation 2.5D/3D heterogeneous integration strategies, resolving complex thermal, power, delivery, and signal integrity challenges for large sale AI and networking systems.
Influence the external semiconductor and EDA ecosystem to accelerate Cisco's development cycles.
EDA Partnership: Collaborate with top-tier EDA vendors to influence tool architecture and co-develop next generation physical design flows for extreme-scale ASICs.
Foundry Interlock: Serve as a Primary technical authority in engagements with leading foundries and IP suppliers to steer PDK definitions and silicon rule decks.
Flow Convergence: Drive the convergence of custom and automated Place and Route (P&R) flows to close the performance gap in semi-custom digital architectures.
Balance aggressive technical targets with business realities and cultivate engineering excellence.
TCO Governance: Provide holistic governance balancing microarchitectural performance against manufacturability, yield and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Technical Mentorship: evaluate the global Silicon One engineering organization by mentoring principal engineers and technical leads to foster a culture of innovation.
Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with senior leadership across Architecture, Physical Design, Package and Silicon Operations, as well as external industry standards bodies.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Microelectronics, Materials Science, or related technical field + 17 years of advanced ASIC/SoC silicon design and physical implementation experience or Masters + 14 years of related experience, or PhD + 10 years of related experience.
Experience with technical leadership at the Fellow, Distinguished Engineer, or Chief Architect level, with multi-generation tapeout successes on cutting-edge process nodes (sub-5nm, 3nm, 2nm, or GAA architectures).
Experience in Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO), transistor/device physics interactions, standard cell library architecture, and standard memory/SRAM optimization for extreme-scale ASICs.
Experience with hands-on and architectural design across full-chip physical design flows, including synthesis, automated Place & Route (Innovus / Fusion Compiler), static timing analysis (PrimeTime / Tempus), clock tree/mesh synthesis, and power/IR-drop analysis (RedHawk / Voltus).
Experience defining or implementing advanced 2.5D (interposer/UCIe/D2D) and 3D heterogeneous packaging architectures, including power integrity and thermal envelope management.
Technical leadership experience with major semiconductor foundries (e.g., TSMC, IFS, Samsung) and tier-1 EDA software vendors, driving PDK enhancements and tool capability roadmaps.

Preferred Qualifications

Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Solid-State Physics, or Microelectronics with extensive industry recognition, including published papers in leading technical conferences (IEDM, VLSI, DAC, ISSCC) and an extensive patent portfolio in silicon design and semiconductor methodology.
Direct experience architecting baseline process-design interactions and foundational design methodologies for industry-defining process nodes (e.g., 14A, 10A, A14, sub-2nm Angstrom nodes).
Demonstrated track record of innovating and deploying automated P&R flows on high-performance custom/semi-custom architectures to bridge the performance gap between full-custom and standard ASIC design.
Demonstrated ability to make pivotal silicon architectural decisions with incomplete early data (e.g., evaluating and committing to Gate-All-Around / RibbonFET architectures 2–3 years ahead of silicon fab runs).
Experience evaluating engineering choices against Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), silicon manufacturability, yield economics, and system-level platform constraints.
Prior experience guiding engineering leaders through significant technical and product challenges.
Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with proven ability to distill complex semiconductor physics and architectural trade-offs into actionable technical strategy for executive stakeholders.
